>>26898586what makes you say that? sure there WERE kids on it, but when we take into consideration proportions and orders of magnitude, the sheer rate of increase is apparent enough to back up my claim. As a video maker, youtube does try to give you semi accurate, decently updated stats regarding your channel and videos (probably the one good aspect of the google buyout), and I can say with a certain degree of accuracy that in the last two years I've began uploading videos, there has been, on my page alone, a 13% increase (in the US at least) of people 13-20 who watch my stuff.
Sure, that's just for me, that doesn't mean shit on the grand scale, but now that my objective evidence is out of the way, let's take into account common sense and the anecdotal side - look at the comments. These are kids, by and large - the arguing, the misspelling, the lame stolen memes, the aggressive requests "Make a video about keldeo cuze if you dnt your a faggot!", and so on and so forth
I mean the content has always appealed to kids, technically, sure, but, it's the percentages of who is watching what, and ever since money as well as independent businesses coughroosterteethcough appeared on the medium, it's all marketing tactics specifically meant to draw in kids with shit like search engine optimization right down to the background color of thumbails - seriously, look that shit up, they're literally baiting these kids with what is essentially digital candy
it pisses me off because it enables people like OP-related to jerk themselves off harder, and to jizz on more people, metaphorically speaking
